ok guys its time for a challenge.
this is what ya gotta do. we, as humans, learn from looking at things, we all know this. So this is ur challenge, find a picture that is drawn by a fellow theotaku artist and redraw it! no u r not to trace it. all you have to do is find an artist that is worse, eh um i mean not as "experienced" as you are (or better i dont care) and redraw their picture in ur own style. UR ARE NOT TO COPY i can't stress that enough. and once you summit ur picture you MUST provide the link to the original otherwise i'm not going to judge it.
here are more rules:
find a picture from fellow otakuian artist and redraw
DO NOT TRACE/COPY
provide link
you may redraw one of your own picture to see ur improvements
pencil, markers, pens photoshop etc is all allowed.
please follow site rules and keep it clean
no yaoi or yuri (i will not count it in judging)
please people dont copy anything i will be looking at your other art works so keep that in mind. if ur drawing stick figures one day and then a flawless realistic style the next i know something is up. i want it in ur own style.

ALSO!!!!!! please do not insult the artist u got the picture from. i dont want to start stuff on this site. so it would be REALLY cool of yall to inform the person u got the picture from that u are redrawing it for this contest.
NOTE!!!! although u may think an artist is an awesome drawer dont forget to look WAY back in their galleries. i'm sure u will find some less "awesome" stuff. remember it takes time to become a great artist. SOOOOOO if u wanna get some brownie points out of me i suggest u look back at my old art work and pick from their but you dont have to. (please tell me if u do)

i will declare 3 winners
1st place is any picture from ur own gallery that u want me to redraw. (we will talk our more details later)
2nd is a bust of any character u want outlines and colored in photoshop
3rd is a bust that is just outlined (maybe toned, depending on how im feeling when i draw it.)
u have 2 months and you may have up to 3 pictures entered. (but u can only win once, i know we got some awesome artist but we gotta be fair here)

this is meant to be fun, so dont start any fights. Artist!! if someone borrows a picture from u and u didn't want them to please inform me and we will work it out.

NOTE:OK I KNOW ALL OF U ARE AFRAID TO ASK OTHER ARTIST IF U ARE ABLE TO USE THERE ART. SO!!!!!!!! I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE RULES A LITTLE BIT. NOW U DONT NEED TO ASK THEM, BUT U MUST DEDICATE IT TO THEM. THIS WAY IT QUALIFIES AS A GIFT FOR THEM. NOT AN INSULT.
